AN EXPERT ON EXERCISE.

Take the hcart--itself a very bundle of
masculine fibers. We know that as long
as we live, whether sleeping or waking,
that wonderful organ keeps up its regular
contractions and expansions. But, when
we use our muscles, their contraetle force
upon the blood vessels helps the blood
along its channels, and thus takes little
labor from the propelling heart. 1t beats
faster but with less effort. While helping
the heart, muscular exercise helps the
lungs also. More exercise means for the
lungs more breath; that is, more air inspir-
ed and more carbonic-acid gas expired. BY
deeper breathings the involuntary muscles
are strengthened While the lungs and
heart are doing better work under the slim
Illus of muscular exercise, the heart pump
ing the blood more certainly to the farther
most tissue of the body and the lungs,
more rapidly purifying the blood, other
organs are benefited. The diaphragm,
that muscle separating the lungs and heart
from the stomach and liver, is rising and
falling, and, with the increased expansion
and contraction of the walls of the thorax,
is moving all the contents of the abdomen
to activity. The liver, the great gland OF
the body, has not only more blood sent to
it, but is quickened to action.-P5palar

REECHER'S love OF BEAUTIFUL
JEWELS.

Mr.. Heecher's fondncss for jewels is well
known. f. C. Marvel, a jewcler in Maiden
Lane, and clerk of Plymouth church, said
the other day: "Mr Deecler did not care
for the intrinsic value of gems, but for their
beauty of color. He cared more for opals,
sapphires, rubies and amethysts than for
diamonds. lie had no liking for stones
that had been cut for intaglios and canoes.
He used to say of such stones: ooh, what
pity. they have been ruined
Storm and color appealed to him most
strongly. lie used to say that he liked the
sapphire better than the opal, owing to the
fact that the color was richer. He had sew
eral fine specimens which he carried about
with him most Of the time. He used to
come to my store and rummage by the
hour among the precious stones, and lie
would do the same thing at other jewelers.
shops. When in Boston, Chicago or San
Francisco, he used to do the same. lie
told me that one of the regrets with which
he left London was that he could not bring
with him an especially fine amethyst.
''He did not wear jewels often. lie had
fine aquamarine set in ring, which he
sometimes wore in the pulpit Of Plymouth
Church. And he had a splendid opal
which lie used to wear when away from
Brooklyn. Bnt he was aycrse to making
any display of precious stones. lie enjoy
| ed their wealth Of color and seemed to find
| inspiration in them. He used TO say that
when tired it rested him to look at gems.
Gle did not have large collection OF
them. but choice one. lie priced the best
specimens and bought what suited his own
taste. lie seemed to know what he want
ed, and could tell the value OF stone at
once. Without special training he was an
expert in pems "-Neso lork Tribune

SPIDERS.

The spider taketh hold with her hands and Is
in kings palaces. PROV. Xxx, %
The ingenuity, cunning and stratagems Of
ton and interest from remote antiquity
Solomon might well mention it among the
small things that are wise upon the earth. :
For, truly, what the spider does with her
hands. and her spinning organs, is most
wonderful. The garden spider is most
skillful aeronaut, and practised his art with
consummate success, long ages before its
discovery by man; it constructs its balloon
with silk of its own manufacture, and
watts along, or aseends on high, with case
and rapdity, in its airy chariot. The wa
ter spider from time immemorial, has
been familiar with all the triumphs Of the
diving bell; it fabricates for itself a cover
ing in which it can safely dive, remain at
the bottom of pools and streams, there
build for itself a dry and comfortable hab-
itation; from this it daily ascends in quest
of prey, and, having secured it, carries it
down to its subaquatic mansion, to be de-
voured at its pleasure. Another species,
called the builder, is cminently gifted with
architectural talents; but its structures are
always under ground. There it excavates
rooms, bores galleries, forms vaults, con-
structs bridges, and carves out entrances,
Its habitation, when completed and garnish-
ed, is always remarkable for the extreme
neatness which reigns within it. Whatev-
er the humidity of the soil in which it is
built, water never enetrates it; the walls
having usually the lustre of satin, and are
almost always of dazzling whiteness.
But the most remarkable ingenious of all
the contrivances about its habitation is the
door at its entrance, which lacks nothing
but lock, for it is nicely fitted to frame,
and actually works upon hinge. This
door, upon close examination, is found to
be complicated fabric, being formed of
no less thirty layers OF earth and web, em-
boxed in each other. On the outside it is
coated with soil similar to the surrounding
earth, so that the existence of an entrance
would hardly be suspected. And what is
very striking, the door is so hinged that,
whether the spider enters or goes out, it is
sure to shut of itself. The advantage of
this adjustment is great and obvious; for,
whether it darts ont upon its prey, or re-
treats before an enemy, no time need be
lost in shutting the door. In these opera
tions of spiders, We discover designs so
wise, contrivances so happy, and adoptions
so successful, as plainly prove that the
benevolent Creator has taught each the
lessons of its life-dutes, and made these
little creatures, small though they be,
''wise upon the earth. Morris, III Work
Dags Of God.

Sometimes wonder what a mean man
writes r. g. Burdette. When he turns
out the light and lays down. When the
darkness closes in about him and he is
alone, and compelled to be honest with
himself And not bright thought,
not generous impulse, not manly act,
not a word Of blessing, nor grateful look
comes to bless him again. Not a penny
dropped into the ontstretched palm Of
poverty, nor the balm of the broken word
dropped into an aching heart; no sunbeam
of encouragement cast upon suffering
life: the strong right hand of fellowship
reached out to help some fallen man TO his
feet-when none OF these things come to
him as the ''God bless you of the depart
ed day, how he must hate himself. How
he must try to roll away from himself, and
sleep on the other side of the bed. When

victory in which he has wronged 4 neigh
Dor No wonder he always sneers and
tries to smile. How pure and fair and
good all the rest of the world must look to
him, and cheerless and dusty and dreary
must his own path appear. Why, even
one. lone. isolated act of meanness is
enough to scatter cracker crumbs in the bed
of the average, ordinary man, and what
must be the feeling of a man whose whole
life is given mp to mean actss When there
is so much suffering and heartache and
misery in the world anyhow. why should
you add one pound of wiekedness or sad
ness to the general burden Don't be
mean. Suffer injustice thousand times
rather than commit il once.

Mrs. Logan gives striking instance of
the discrimination made in the pay of gov
eminent clerks on account of sex. She
says: mo lady is allowed the same Sala-
ry in the higher grade of clerkships, no
matter how well she fills the higher sal
aried desks, and many Of them are to-day
in those positions, but do not receive the
pay. As an illustration, it has happened
that in cases of illness or disability of men
clerks, their wives performed The duty Of
their husbands, drawing in their name the
salary as if they had performed the work.
In one case the wife kept up her husband 5

eeiving the Il, 500 per amman, and thereby
supporting the family; but from the day of
his death, though she continued the same

The Queen Of England has ten pairs OF

each year. Each day the royal sheets and
pillow cases are changed for fresh ones,
the twelve pillows having their cases not
buttoned or tied, but sewcd on. This must
be very comfortable. But the sheets are
all embroidered with the royal arms, which
must be very uncomfortable. The Queen

The prohibtory amendment to the Con-
sttution of the State of Pennsylvania.
which has been passed by the Legislature,
has still a long and probably hard road
to travel before it reaches safe landing
in the organic law of the State. The course
before it may be thus described :-"After
the resolution has been adopted by both
Houses the Secretary of the Commonwealth
is required to advertise the fact three
months before the next general election.
Then the General Assembly next after
wards chosen votes again upon proposed
amendment. That will be two years hence.
If majority of each House should agree
to it, then the Secretary of the Common
wealth is required to again advertise the
fact, and at the next general election the
question Of adopting the amendment is
submitted to vote of the people. If it is
approved by a majority of those voting
upon it, then it becomes part of the Con-
stitution. Under these provisions the
amendment now started on its way must
be approved by the Legislature which
goes into Office January, 1899, before it can
be submitted to popular vote, and cannot
be voted upon by the people before Novem-
